Default lowest without getting CC plates?

which lowering springs will give me the most drop without having to get CC plates?? i am thinking about going with the eibach pro kit, but i know there are others like stedda and whatnot, what kind of drop do they give?

The pro-kit might still need C/C plates. I would just go ahead the c/c plates and then not worry about how much you want to drop it.

You can be like me and lower your car 2" and say f*ck CC plates lol I change my wheels so often that I don't really see any weird tire wear. However my camber is pretty negative[8D]

most people will actually say 1/1.5 inches... but, I have known people that have done a small drop and at first you won't notice anything about the alignment, but the more you go on without them, the more you can tell on a set of tires.,

I dropped mine and no CC plates. You can do an inch easy w/o plates. I planned on 2 inches so I added aluminum offset rack bushings ($35) when I did mine. I had my car aligned and have had no issues with tire wear. I'd think 1.5 with offsets and an alignment will do you well.
